The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District will host a collection drop-off site at State Fair Park's Gate Eight on Friday and Saturday.

Items such as batteries, solvent-based cleaners and aerosol cans will be collected and disposed of at no cost.

"You have your paint thinners and your old automotive fluids and transmission fluid, things like that," said Bill Graffin of MMSD. "We take compact fluorescent light bulbs and even rechargable batteries. They have metals in them that we want to keep out of the landfills."

Drop-offs will be accepted on Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
